Bozier told Halliday that he had not viewed sexually explicit images of children, and had instead looked at what the Guardian described as "non-sexual, non-pornographic pictures of teenagers". Bozier hits out at what he views as the "hypocrisy" of the UK's Sexual Offences Act 2003, which lists viewing "suggestive pictures of women" between the age of 16-18 as a crime.

Yiannopoulos has acknowledged the accusations on Twitter, saying that he has tried to comment on the article but it is in moderation (it hasn't been posted yet). However, he has responded on Twitter, in typical fashion:

Yeah, I've read Bozier's post. I understand why he might be angry. I was angry too when I discovered one of my friends was a pervert.
